Switzerland: Federal authorities considering separate camps for criminal asylum seekers

Via SwissInfo:
The federal authorities say they are considering a proposal to set up special housing for criminal asylum seekers under restraining orders.

Mario Gattiker, head of the Federal Migration Office, said he was open to the idea from canton Ticino, which has been bearing the brunt of a wave of asylum seekers entering from neighbouring Italy.

The plan was launched by a prominent member of the Lega dei Ticinesi movement in the Ticino government.

Residents in the border region have regularly complained about incidents allegedly committed mainly by young asylum seekers from North Africa.
